I think hes the biggest scorer that still playing the game. Today is his last game, respect to one of the best players ever!!!!!!!

really sad to see him leave, i was 'him' alot of times in my youth. i admired how he always went his own way. he didnt need training, so he was always too late if he showed up at all. but the trainer could go past him cause in the match where he always performed his skills. the public in holland loved him, and some times could stand him, but that was romario.
